Before you start

  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 large non stick frying pan

Do the mash

  • Heat your grill to high.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2cm cubes, then cook in boiling water for 15-18 mins. Drain, return to the pan and mash, then lightly season and mix in the horseradish paste.

Veg out!

  • Meanwhile, slice the spring onions into 3cm pieces. Trim the green beans and cut each into 3 pieces.
  • Halve the mangetout lengthways, then halve the courgettes lengthways and slice into ½cm half-moons.

Grill the salmon

  • Put the salmon on a baking tray lined with foil and spritz with cooking spray. Grate the lemon zest over the salmon and grill for 10-12 mins until cooked through and flaking.

Sort your greens

  • At the same time, finely chop the mint leaves.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat.
  • Fry the green veg for 4-5 mins, adding a splash of water if needed.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool a little. Stir in the juice of half the lemon, all the yogurt and mint.

Dish up

  • Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges.
  • Serve the mash with the salmon, green veg and a lemon wedge.
